More importantly curry has benefits that are long lasting. Helps reduce inflammation of the joints. Helps deactivate the gene that can trigger the onset and spread of breast cancer.

The list goes on and on but no matter how you look at it, Curry is a positive influence on all of us. From health benefits to just tasting great in all kinds of well prepared meals.
